The Mandalorian Mercs began life as the brainchild of Tom Hutchens in March 2007. Noticing that Mandalorian costumers had distinctive and separate needs to “traditional” costuming groups, and being a big fan, Tom decided to create a costume group based on Mandalorian culture. Utilizing a guild name from Star Wars: Galaxies™ and references from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic™ computer games, the Mandalorian Mercs as a costume organization was born.

FISD is dedicated to the armor and equipment of stormtroopers as seen in Star Wars. They strive for accuracy in costuming and to discuss everything stormtrooper related. Their mission is to serve the needs of both current and prospective members of the 501st Legion, in keeping with their unofficial motto: “troopers helping troopers.”

At clonetroopers.net you will find the Clones of Jango Fett, from the Movie Episodes II and III, Animated Clone Wars Series, and expanded universe. These include ARC Troopers, Clone Commanders, Republic Commandos, and other Clone Troopers in this detachment.

The mission of the Jolly Roger Squadron is to provide the latest comprehensive information available on the Imperial Pilot costume as seen in Star Wars Episodes IV, V, VI, as well as future costumes which may be derived from the new animated and live action series on TV.

The Sith Lord Detachment is the Official film canon costuming Detachment of the 501st Legion specifically for the costumes of Darth Vader, Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine), Darth Maul, and Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku).

The Sovereign protectors Detachment is the place to come to for all of your Imperial Royal Guard Costuming needs!
